More than one Authorized Person may be designated. The Authorized Person must keep any information received confidential, and must also submit a sworn statement which indicates it will submit requests for criminal history record checks in accordance with the law (Authorized Person Notarized Sworn Statement).The Authorized Person Designation Form is also a request for permission to access the OMH Criminal History Information Tracking System (CHITS). CHITS is a secure electronic tracking system designed to facilitate the criminal history record check process.
